Do NOT Count

Any physical item that has not gone through end-processing (unbound pieces checked in by Acquisitions)

Anything uncataloged (without call number)

Bindery

Periodicals/Serials: Acquisitions Associate does NOT count any items in periodical or serial category when they are being placed on shelf to go to Bindery. Head of Cataloging counts them as she prepares them for bindery and then uses that count in the monthly Cataloging statistics.

Monographs: All monographs are counted when they are cataloged. Head of Cataloging includes monographs in monthly Bindery statistics, but not in monthly Cataloging statistics, unless they have to be split into more than one piece as prepared for bindery due to thickness.

Preservation

All categories: Head of Cataloging keeps a count of items being sent to Preservation only to get a sense of how much volume is going. But she does not include these counts in the monthly Cataloging statistics.

Cataloged items in all categories must be counted by the staff member handling it through regular statistics-gathering method.
